The restaurant owner was caught off guard by her sudden attack and was unable to react in time. She grabbed his collar and slapped him.
The restaurant owner was also furious. He shoved her away forcefully, his face contorted with anger: "What are you doing, you old woman, throwing mud at me like this! I didn't even know who she was before she jumped! Don't spread rumors!"
Xie's mother sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing, "This is outrageous! My child was working here perfectly fine, and she died after only a few days! I won't believe you didn't bully her!"
"You have to pay! You must pay for my child! Otherwise, I'll hang myself in front of your store today!"
With her back to the restaurant entrance, Xie Tingting listened to the loud crying and commotion, her fists clenched, her entire being trembling.
An overwhelming anger and helplessness surged within her chest, her eyes flashed with red light, and a murky resentment appeared on her once pure soul.
Xie Tingting suddenly turned around, brandishing her sharp, ghostly claws as she reached for her mother, screaming, "Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up—!"
Her ghostly claws stopped just 0.1 centimeters away from Xie's mother. Nan Yuanman used all her strength to grab her legs and pull her back: "Sister, calm down! Don't let the resentment control you and turn you into a vengeful ghost!"
Xie Tingting's reason was overwhelmed by the raging anger. She struggled desperately and swung her claws at her mother's face, as if she wanted to tear her face apart.
Nan Yuanman could only hold her and pull her back even harder.
The young policeman who had followed Nan Yuanman watched as she clutched at thin air, her short legs straining to move backward, her chubby face tense, and even the strands of hair seemed to be straining: "..."
Young police officer:
The young policeman swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly: "Little kid, what are you hugging?"
Nan Yuanman, panting heavily, managed to brush him off while still out of breath: "I wasn't hugging anything, officer, you must have mistaken me!"
Young policeman: "..." I wish I was seeing things! But you don't look like I'm seeing things at all!
Not to mention it's late at night, and someone died not far away...
The young policeman felt a chill run down his spine and was completely terrified. He quickly stepped forward to take Nan Yuanman away, saying, "Alright, alright, little one, stop making a fuss. Be good, we'll hurry up and get your statement done so your family can pick you up and take you home to sleep."
He gave it a quick hug, but didn't lift it up.
Young police officer: ?
The young policeman looked at her with a bewildered expression: "???"
What happened? Has he been training less lately? He can't even lift the child anymore?
The young policeman rolled up his sleeves and, defiantly, gave it a strong hug.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, while his hand was covering her, Nan Yuanman pulled a small section of the small coffin out of the cloth bag, opened it, and put the soon-to-be-out-of-control Xie Tingting inside.
The young policeman pulled Nan Yuanman up from the ground as if he were a leek up from dry land. Because he used too much force, Nan Yuanman stumbled back several steps before finally stopping with great difficulty.
Young police officer: "...?"
He and Nan Yuanman, nestled in his arms, stared at each other in bewilderment.
He suspected he'd been set up!
The young policeman couldn't help but glance at the body covered with a white sheet in front of him, shook himself, and quickly left with Nan Yuanman in his arms.
This time, Nan Yuanman didn't cause any trouble. She nestled obediently in his arms, her soft little chin resting on his shoulder. She looked at the crowd and saw Xie's mother arguing with the restaurant owner, lost in thought.
With her cooperation, the journey to the police station went smoothly without any major mishaps.
When Nan Yuanman arrived at the police station, Liu Wei and Yu Meimei's families were already there, arguing fiercely with them in the lobby. Both sides were centered on each other's parents, extending their ancestry to eighteen generations, using reproductive organs as their main weapon, and fantasies as their main skill, radiating outwards in a 360-degree all-round way, cursing the entire family tree.
The young policeman covered Nan Yuanman's ears in time, preventing her from hearing these foul and offensive words.
Brother Niu and his accomplices kept protesting their innocence, but with the video from the Nan Yuanman watch as evidence, her as a witness, and the fact that both of them had prior criminal records, their detention was a certainty.
The police officers at the station had heard before that the person who reported this case of trafficking in women was very young, but they didn't expect her to be so young. She looked tiny, only five years old.
Nan Yuanman was welcomed by the policewoman as soon as he arrived.
When asking her to give a verbal statement, try to keep the atmosphere relaxed and easy to avoid frightening her.
On the other side, the Jiang family.
Jiang Lixuan lay on the ground for nearly two hours before slowly waking up: "Ugh..."
He stared blankly at the dark wall for a moment, his mind still reeling. When he finally came to his senses, he scrambled to his feet and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
Jiang Lixuan stared at the room, which looked like it had been bombed by an airplane, and his vision went black: "Nan Yuanman! What happened?!"
What did this girl do in the room? Did she make explosives? How could she make such a mess of the room!
There was no response from inside the room.
Jiang Lixuan clutched his throbbing head, looked around, but couldn't find any trace of Nan Yuanman in the room. His heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition began to rise in his mind.
Jiang Lixuan called out several more times, searched in the bathroom, looked under the bed with his butt sticking out, and even ran out to search the hall, the garden, and the rooftop, but still couldn't find any trace of Nan Yuanman.
He panicked. Could it be that the girl had run away from home because she was afraid he would blame her?
Jiang Lixuan quickly asked Butler Li to bring an iPad to check the location of the Nan Yuanman watch.
The little red dot quickly appeared on the map on the iPad.
Butler Li zoomed in on the location of the small red dot on the map, his brows furrowing slowly. "Young Master, this...this seems to be the location of the Taikoo District Police Station. Why did Miss Yuanman end up at the police station?!"
Jiang Lixuan: "..." He really wanted to know too!
Just as he was about to call Nan Yuanman, his phone rang first: "Hello?"
Hearing the female voice coming from the other end of the phone, Jiang Lixuan quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there. Tell her to stay put and not run around!"
After saying that, Jiang Lixuan hung up the phone and rushed out without even changing his clothes.
Jiang Hengzhi, returning from his night run, nearly bumped into him. Looking at his hurried figure, he frowned and asked, "Why is he running so fast? In such a rush to be reincarnated?"
Butler Li looked at Jiang Hengzhi with a complicated expression and said quietly, "It's nothing, it's just that Miss Yuanman went to the police station."
Jiang Hengzhi: "?"
"Wasn't she at home? How did she end up in the police station? What heinous crime did she commit to get arrested?"
Butler Li: "..."
His face darkened: "Second Young Master, Miss Yuanman is only five years old."
What heinous things could a five-year-old do!
"So what if she's five? There are plenty of five-year-olds who do bad things. She even called me mentally challenged today!" Jiang Hengzhi chuckled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned to follow Jiang Lixuan.
"I want to see how she got into the police station. I don't want her to embarrass the Jiang family because of this."
-
At the entrance of the police station.
While waiting for Jiang Lixuan to pick her up, Nan Yuanman found a relatively secluded corner and released Xie Tingting, who was banging around in the small coffin.
Xie Tingting emerged with a straw stuck in her head, her entire soul form appearing extremely disheveled.
Nan Yuanman blinked and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Sister, are you alright?"
Xie Tingting turned around abruptly to look at her, rushed over and knelt down on her knees with a thud, hugging her short legs: "Little Celestial Master, I was wrong! I shouldn't have acted impulsively just now! Please don't put me in that strange place again, okay?"
There are zombies there!!
"Okay." Nan Yuanman nodded, patted her head, and asked, "Sister, do you know what your obsession is?"
Xie Tingting's soul froze, and she held Nan Yuanman in her arms for a long time without speaking. After a while, she said in a slightly bitter voice, "I understand."
She wants...her parents to love her.
